Smoke from wildfires will remain high above Seattle

Haze from wildfires in British Columbia continues to linger over downtown Seattle. A new weather front will bring smoke into the area, but it will remain in the upper atmosphere and have little effect on air quality at ground level. It will be noticeable only as a slight change in the colors of sunrise and sunset.
